Does texting all the time bother a guy?

Me and this guy just met like...3 or 4 days ago? We text each other but it always takes him FOREVER to respond and when I say that I'll just let him do whatever he's doing he goes "No, don't stop texting me." And he never really texts me unless I text him first. So I guess my question is, am I bothering him? Should I just wait for him to text me and leave all the communication up to him?

Updates:

Also, we never talk on the phone unless I call him. I'm just trying to get to know him better, not be a pest. He's an older guy(in his 20's) and I'm a teen(17).

He doesn't want you to think he's interested cause maybe he isn't completely sure if he likes you yet. And since there's a little possibility that he does, he wants you to keep talking to him. I'm sure if you made him wait a long time he'd start starting conversations :)

I know this cause this is like my situation, but the roles are switched...haha
